GameStop: We've Got Wii For Weeks
Wired News
Looking to get a Wii for Christmas? Act now.
Last night at the Lich King launch, I got the chance to speak with a GameStop exec who pointed out that Wii was currently in stock at the San Francisco downtown store.
In fact, he said, the retailer had secured enough Wii consoles from Nintendo that he was confident the hard-to-find game system would be in stock at all GameStop stores until the first week of December. That's right -- GameStop could have enough to last through Black Friday.
It's not just GameStop, though -- it's in stock right now at Amazon, too, and I wouldn't be shocked if you see it in big box stores. It seems not that demand is declining, but that Nintendo has finally gotten production ramped up to levels that actually support the continued demand.
After that, who knows. Wii Fit is a "different story," they said. Looks like it won't be terribly difficult to get Wii this holiday season, but the exercise game will be the Turbo Man of 2008.
